Ahead of the 2023 elections, some opposition political parties have expressed their willingness to merge with other parties.in separate interviews noted that they could meet the June 3 and 4 deadline of the Independent National Electoral Commission for submission of party candidates, and would serve as a formidable third force to wrest power from the All Progressives Congress.

The National Chairman of the African Action Congress, Dr Leonard Nzenwa, said his party was willing to form a merger with “progressive minds based on democratic principles.’’ Nzenwa, the immediate past president of the Inter-Party Advisory Council Nigeria, said the ACC would admit new members and defectors and consider them as prospective party candidates in the 2023 elections as long as they had no intention to use the platform to destabilise the country.

Nzenwa said, “As long as you are law-abiding, you are not an irritant, you are not an outcast legally, you don’t have a problem with the state, and you are not unnecessarily comical and controversial, the party will see you as a candidate, but once you an entertainer, a comic, the party will not have anything to do with you.”

Stressing that the party was working to meet the scheduled date of the INEC, he lamented the gross insecurity in the country, and the deep-seated anger of the citizens, describing it as a feature of a “failed state.”
